Three Communications/Sports Journalism (COSJ) students were on the frontlines of live ESPN+ broadcast coverage of the Springfield College football victory over UMass-Dartmouth in an NCAA Division III tournament game. This experiential learning opportunity for Dante LaFrate (play-by-play), Nick Pantages (color commentary), and Braedan Shea (technical operations), showcases that the best way to learn and grow as a broadcaster, producer, or contributor is through hands-on learning. Through experiential learning opportunities, COSJ students take what they learn in the classroom and put it into practice.
